Water intake

Lisamar74

I actually thought I was good with my water intake but now that I'm counting exactly how many glasses I am drinking I've realised I'm not!
I usually drink my water plain so this might be why I'm finding it hard.
If you drink cups of tea or coffee, do you include this in your water intake?
Likewise, if you were to drink diluted juice, would that be included as part of your water intake?
I think there's alot of differing opinions on this and would be interested to know if anyone knows the real answer....

There will never be a right answer because there are too many different opinions about this...

As for me water intake is just that WATER...

I drink anywhere from 75-100 ounces a day - I use a 25ounce Camelback bottle with a fliptop straw - I find having a straw helps me drink more.

I make "deals" with myself - I have to drink a full bottle before I get my morning coffee...

After my morning coffee I have to drink another full one before I can have another cup of coffee....

I usually drink 2 cups of coffee a day and a cup of tea about 3x's a week in the evening - I do not count those towards my water intake....
